So Flo has a short bench and limited offense.  They have two big men, total.  This is the Big East, every game will be close.  They will play D, they just can't score enough to stay with ND.  As for those who say this is a trap game, look at Pitt last night, coming off a win at Syc going to Cin with their arch rival UCONN up next, there are no trap games in a conference like the Big East. 

One thing to worry about, whenever a line looks to good to be true, it usually is and I get .

The good thing about USF not having much offense is ND's defense is TERRIBLE and USF is at home.  I'm curious to see how this one goes

Okay, here's part of my thoughts on this.

Notre Dame is a better team.  Period.  Don't overthink it.

Do you really think that, when a ND player goes up to take a shot tonight, that he will miss it because he was thinking about reverse line movement in Vegas?   Oh no, I have to miss because of the RML!!!!

That stuff has no effect on the actual players on the court.  Sometimes I think cappers get too hung up in all these statistical theories that they forget it actually has no effect on the game itself.

Notre Dame should win this game, regardless of what the odds movement suggests.

I agree, I am just trying to figure out what Vegas is up to.  I like ND by 8-10 and am playing it as such.  I also think that line will be back to -3 by tip off, confirming that the line movement has nothing at all to do with the game or the players, its just about getting even money so the Vegas boys can get the juice.

ND to the BANK!!!

anyone think the line makers can see the future? or a select few?

There is no reason it shouldn't be ND - 6 or something like that. Somehow SF will win tonight and we'll all be like...ah, i knew it was a trap---i think they get tomorrows paper...

that being said -- i'm on ND

this is what the LINESMAKERS DO.
they make it so that there is no way you CAN NOT take ND
If the line was ND -4,-5,-6 you would be thinking "DAMN IM GOING TO TAKE SF AND THE POINTS"

If the line was -5 I would still be on ND.  I like them that much in this spot.

ya, -4 to -6 i'd still be on ND. The only way you can be on SF today is if you know something for sure, or are betting against 95% of the public (my guess).

He has been out longer than one game.
